Our Ships at Sea.

Far DER the waters
Are many ships at sea,
Freighted with treasures
And wealth for you and me.
Their sails CLEAN bright.
Their banners tlutter wide,
Their hulls darkly rising
Against the swelling tide.
What bright dreams cluster
Around those ships at sea,
Those ships heavy laden
With gold for you and me.
What fond hopes we cherish.
What buds so rich and rare
Shall blossom and bear fruit
When the waves return our share.
Our ships are long in coming
And we weary for the sight.
Vanity we watch and wait
While days fade into night.
We strain our aching ewes
To catch the whitening sail.
We bindly hope and trust
While stars grow dim and pale.
Our ships are on the ocean
And their sails the breeZcs fill.
Yet they never greet our vision
When the waves are calm and still.
The dancing waters mock us
As we vainiy watch and wait,
While the years roll swiftly onward
And the ships come nome-too late.
We fill our lives with longins>,
We turn our yearning eyes
Toward hopes that fail fruition
And stars that never rise.
Our dreams are strewn in ruins
Like wrecks along the shore,
And the ships so late in coming
Bring our treasures nevermorc.
